So I totally made a huge mistake on one of my paintings last week. I forgot an entire eyeball on a person's face.
How, how, how could I have overlooked such a thing?
AND I didn't notice until it had been up on the web for several days....

It reminds me of one of my favorite Oscar Wilde quotes,
To look at a thing is different from seeing and thing.
And one does not see anything until one sees it's beauty.
She was beautiful without her eye, but I was the one who was blinded?
